Do The Work Together

After the election of Nox as class leader and Evelina as vice-class leader, Mr. Kyle asked the two of them to follow him into the teacher's room. In the teacher's room, Mr. Kyle asked Nox and Evelina to record attendance and coordinate the students in grades 1-4. After discussing with Mr. Kyle, they came out of the teacher's room and when they opened the door, Rissa suddenly appeared near the door of the teacher's room.

"OH MY GOD!!! YOU!!!" surprised Nox, when he saw Rissa's sudden appearance next to him that appeared near the door of the teacher's room.

"Rissa!!! What are you doing here?" whispered Evelina to her.

Before answering Evelina's question, Franss approached them.

"Nox!!!" called him while waving his arms.

Nox begins to speak up due to the arrival of Franss and Rissa.

"Franss, why are you here, too? What do you want to suddenly come for?" he asked looking at Franss.

"Ah ... I just want to come to you," Franss replied.

"You too! Why did you suddenly show up at the door?" asked Nox to Rissa.

"What's your business? I just miss Eve ...," she replied while hugging Evelina.

Without Rissa's lengthy explanation, Nox and Franss leave her.

"Let's go!" asked Nox to Franss.

"Ah, all right!" said Franss.

"Bye-bye! Evelina, Rissa!" said Franss waving to the two of them.

Evelina returns her wave to Franss. Then, Rissa speaks. "That man! He always leaves as he pleases," murmured Rissa while looking at Nox.

When Evelina listened to Rissa's words, she asked her, "What did you say, Rissa?"

"Ah, nothing," she replied.

"I think ... my hearing is wrong," Evelina says in her heart.

Then, Evelina is surprised why Rissa came to her. She knows that Rissa is not just looking for her, but there is another purpose.

"By the way, Rissa ... What are you doing here?" asked Evelina.

''I don't want you to be close to anyone else, especially Nox!" said Rissa.

"That's okay, he's not like a bad guy," Evelina said.

"How do you know? He's a cunning person ...," Rissa told her.

Evelina shook her head and said, "Umm ... I don't know, but I feel that way," she explained.

"All right, I believe your hunch. So, let's go to class!" asked Rissa. Evelina accepted her invitation and they headed to class.

~ Flashback ~

After Evelina and Nox are asked by Mr. Kyle to go to the teacher's room. On the other hand in grades 1-4, Rissa realizes something on Nox's smile to Evelina. She knows that the smile is sincere, unlike the usual smile Nox looks fake. This makes Rissa curious to Nox, knowing that the man is not friendly enough with others. However, the man looks easy to smile and friendly when together with Evelina.

Then, Rissa comes to Franss to ask him something, Franss must also realize Nox smile is pure and different than usual.

"Franss!" called Rissa.

"Yes?" replied Franss called Rissa and turned to her.

"Does Nox know Evelina?" asked Rissa.

"Of course, he knew her because of one class," Franss replied.

"I mean ... did he know Evelina before?" asked Rissa curiously.

Suddenly Franss's facial expression turned serious and said, "If that' s ... You can ask Nox directly."

"Are you sure Nox will answer my question?" asked Rissa.

"Of course. Moreover, it's about her and you're Evelina's best friend. So, he'll definitely answer it," Franss explained to her.

Rissa is grateful for Franss's explanation and she follows to come to Evelina to the teacher's room. After Rissa left class, Owen approached Franss who was sitting in his chair and asked him. Owen realizes that Nox's behavior towards Evelina looks different.

"Franss ... who exactly is Evelina for Nox?" asked Owen graciously.

"Ah ... that girl 'probably' the person Nox was looking for all along," he replied.

"Maybe?" asked Owen.

"I don't think 'she' remembers Nox," he explained.

“... and also she's a very 'special' person for Nox," Franss continued with a smile.

On the other hand Lucas who was reading a book while listening to a song, he put his book on the table and removed the headset from his ear. After listening to a conversation between Franss and Owen. Owen and Franss saw Lucas take off his headset and put down his book, Franss asks him.

"What's up Lucas?" asked Franss.

“...” Lucas remains silent not answering Franss's question.

"It's not like he's usually interested in our conversation," Owen said with a chuckle.

"Ah, is that it? Is it really Lucas?" joked Franss to him.

Lucas spoke up, he dodged that it wasn't true. "It's not like that...," he said blushing shyly.

Franss and Owen chuckle at Lucas who dodged while blushing, Lucas reread his book and put his headset on again by listening to his song. Franss stuck in his mind and said, "Ah ... I want to catch up with Nox first, bye-bye."

"What do you want to do?" asked Owen, knowing for sure that Franss had other plans for which Franss went to Nox.

"Of course, it's an interesting thing~" he replied with a smile.

"Don't exaggerate! Nox will be mad at you!" asked Owen to Franss.

Franss catches up with Nox in the teacher's room and there he sees Rissa waiting near the door of the teacher's room. Franss peering by hiding near the wall, he wondered what was coming. The door of the teacher's room is open, Evelina with Nox came out of the teacher's room, Rissa who suddenly appeared surprised Nox.

Seeing that makes Franss laugh because of Nox's shocked behavior. "Pfft...." Franss couldn't hold back his laughter anymore. Franss also came to Nox so that there was no commotion around the teacher's room.

Arriving at class, Evelina and Rissa sit in their seats where they sit together. Nox who had arrived first in class, he came to Evelina to give their assignments to record students in grades 1-4. Then, Nox explained the task to Evelina that would be done by her.

"We're going to write the name of the class absence list. So, you can write a 1-20 the name of the class absence list. After that, I will continue," Nox said to Evelina. Then, Nox turned around that he wanted to go somewhere to finish it.

When Nox wants to get out of Evelina's face, the girl suddenly catches Nox's hand. "How do we do it together?" offered Evelina to him.

Nox whose hand is held by Evelina makes her eyes open, that he is a little surprised by the girl's actions. "Ah ... all right," Nox replied. He can't turn down an offer from that girl. It made him accept the girl's offer, without thinking about it first.

Shortly thereafter, Evelina realizes that she is holding Nox's hand. "Ah, sorry to have your hand held," Evelina said, apologizing to him. Because she had taken his hand suddenly. Rissa sees it, she is a little jealous when Evelina holds Nox's hand and invites him to do the work together.

"How do we do it in the library?? It's very crowded here," she continued.

"Eve ... can I join?" asked Rissa spoiledly.

"Ah, that's ...," replied Evelina who looked hesitant while looking at Nox.

Franss acted as Nox's best friend, he helped him and said, "Rissa, didn't you want to talk about something important?"

"What?" said Rissa.

Owen also helped Franss with what he did. "Right, you wanted to ask us something," he explained, confronting Rissa. Franss coded Nox to leave immediately and a smiling Owen held Rissa.

"So, let's go!" asks Nox, Evelina accepts his invitation and says goodbye to Rissa.

"Bye-bye Rissa," she said, Rissa shook her head that this was a misunderstanding.

After that, they both left class and walked to the library to do their work. Nox smiles at Rissa, making the girl look a little annoyed. When Nox and Evelina are gone from their class, Rissa yells at Owen and Franss, "HEY!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

Hearing the screams from Rissa, shocked the students in the class. Franss pretends to laugh as the students stare at the three of them and Owen says with a smile, "Hahaha ... I'm sorry, her hand is stuck."

On the other hand, Evelina and Nox who are in the library are doing their job. They look for their seats that look deserted and finally find it. Then, they sit in their seats.

"So, I'm going to work on it first," Evelina said. Nox nodded his head that he agreed.

Then, Nox stands up from his seat that he is looking for a book while waiting for Evelina to work on it. Nox finally gets the book he's reading, he sits back in that seat facing Evelina. While reading the books, he looked at Evelina.

When Nox looks at Evelina who is doing her work for too long, Evelina realizes it.

"What's wrong?" asked Evelina.

"It's nothing ...," Nox replied as he squeered.

Evelina hears Nox's words, she's astonished. "Is it just my feeling?" asked Evelina in her heart. She continues her work and Nox still stares at Evelina whose eyes are written to miss her. Nox misses moments like this when they're alone.
